For real . . . In fact I think that my wife would likely have a Zune HD or an iPod Touch right now if either of them could stream media cos I'd have got her one as a gift.  Either are perfectly capable of it hardware-wise.

Oh come on. Microsoft is not nearly as bad (anymore) as Apple. If you don't like Microsoft, what's wrong with one of the open Unix versions (including Android)?

BTW As far as I know both the Zune HD and iPod Touch CAN stream media.



More on topic, I'd love to have one of these (Star Trek) pads, but I'll wait till the Android/Chrome and Slate versions are out. For now I'd say a netbook with 10" screen (which I have already) seems the better option for me.

Also, Microsoft has been working for a while on it's (now called) Courier "booklet" device with two 7" displays. Like a big Nintendo DS. Not sure if that's practical, but it would make it more portable. When it's really portable and if it does work well, it could even replace my Livescribe pen and journal.

I have an e-ink ebook reader device. This is pretty cool for reading books. It's a tad slow, but in return the battery lasts a lot longer than on a LCD type device. It's also much better readable in the sun.

I dont know how, but the Touch streams audio to sound/theatre systems via bluetooth and maybe other method, and I was told it can do the same with video.

you know, when i first saw the iPhone, I thought to myself... "self..." (cause that's how i talk to myself) i said,

"I wish this iPhone was a little bit clunkier...i mean...it still fits in my pocket."

and here we are.

and you just know they are gonna put a huge ass chrome back on it, and you will be blinding people with it while your walking down the street during a sunny summer day.  :lol

Pretty sad but the main reason this device intrigues me is as an E-Book reader and portable media device.

It would be a nice alternative to a laptop for those functions...let's face it...laptops were not designed as guy friendly devices...the heating up of the nether regions is a PITA.
